The Village in the Mist of Pai

‘Santichon Village’ is a small village in Pai district that has been influenced by the culture of Yunnan Chinese who migrated during the Chinese revolution in 1950. At first glance, it resembles Rak Thai Village, but it scores higher in terms of tranquility and numerous photo spots. These include unique orange clay houses, towering gray brick fortresses, woven wooden bridges, and expansive ponds. There are also shops selling tea, tribal costumes, souvenirs, and more. Don't miss trying Yunnan-style food here. Any random restaurant you pick is guaranteed to be delicious as the recipes are quite similar. We tried eating at ‘Mittraphap Pai’ restaurant, and the must-try dish is the intensely flavored pork leg. When eaten with mantou, it blends perfectly. The serving size is large enough for 2-3 people. The vegetable dishes are also fresh and sweet as if they were just picked from the farm. It's an extremely satisfying breakfast.
